00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:09,019
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

2
00:00:09,019 --> 00:00:12,820
Sufism and the Sufis

3
00:00:12,820 --> 00:00:15,820
The Sufism attributed to the Sufis

4
00:00:15,820 --> 00:00:19,820
is a doctrine that states that knowledge of Allah Almighty

5
00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:21,820
is attained through tasting and ecstasy

6
00:00:21,820 --> 00:00:24,820
not through rational inference.

7
00:00:24,820 --> 00:00:28,820
Most of them lean towards the Hindu doctrine of self-torment

8
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:33,820
to become qualified for union with the deity, which they call annihilation (fana').

9
00:00:33,820 --> 00:00:36,890
Some Muslims have inclined towards Sufism

10
00:00:36,890 --> 00:00:39,890
after the fourth century Hijri.

11
00:00:39,890 --> 00:00:42,890
They introduced dancing and listening to music into the religion.

12
00:00:42,890 --> 00:00:45,890
They have innovative, deviant terminology

13
00:00:45,890 --> 00:00:48,890
and innovations, some of which lead their adherents

14
00:00:48,890 --> 00:00:50,890
out of the fold of Islam,

15
00:00:50,890 --> 00:00:52,890
and others less so.

16
00:00:52,890 --> 00:00:56,109
The emergence of Sufism in its early stages

17
00:00:56,109 --> 00:00:58,109
was due to historical reasons,

18
00:00:58,109 --> 00:01:02,109
including the weakness or deviation of the central Caliphate

19
00:01:02,109 --> 00:01:05,109
and people's indulgence in luxury and pleasures,

20
00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:10,109
their forgetting of the Hereafter and distancing themselves from its path.

21
00:01:10,109 --> 00:01:13,109
The reaction to that

22
00:01:13,109 --> 00:01:16,109
was to oppose and reject the worldly life.

23
00:01:16,109 --> 00:01:21,109
This was followed by influence from Indian or Christian monasticism.

24
00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:24,209
Among what the Sufis call

25
00:01:24,209 --> 00:01:27,209
is the influence of the Jabriyyah (determinists) doctrine

26
00:01:27,209 --> 00:01:30,209
and abandoning the taking of means.

27
00:01:30,209 --> 00:01:34,209
Their deviant terms are numerous and varied.

28
00:01:34,209 --> 00:01:38,209
We will present the most important of them in the following concepts.
